The new Ruins Of Beverast album is fantastic, though - some really chilling atmospheric doom, one of those albums where the "heaviness" almost creeps up on you as you get lost in the sound.

I may need to give it another go but I thought this was a big step down from the previous two, with only Kromlech Knell being memorable. A couple of my mates love it though so maybe it's just me.

that's fair - I'm not overly familiar with their old stuff, I just stuck it on while working my way through new releases, so don't have a lot to compare it with. As a standalone, I really enjoyed it, so I might have to give their older material a listen.

GY!BE are touring here at the start of 2022, just bought my ticket for the new Cov Empire.

Decided to return to the motherland for this one and snagged a ticket. Didn’t realise it was the old JJB store! That should be a cracking location

It used to be an old cinema too, didn't it? I still remember the stairs up there but it was gone before the time I ever started going to the pictures.

Yeah, the ABC. I used to go to the Saturday morning matinee for a quid when I was a young un. Of course, a quid was a lot of money back then. It could buy you an onion to hang off your belt.

I bet @Merzbowknows

I've got their first two demo tapes, they went well commercial after that tho.

Metal can be really fucking great at times.

Bloodstock added 7 more bands to their Bill yesterday:

Venom Prison, Napalm Death, King Creature, Borstal, Primitai, Terror IV and Internal Conflict

[I Bent My Wookie]

2000 Trees cancelled until 2022. Starting to think this summer is about to piss it up the wall.

70+ bands (I.e. everyone below except the headliners) announced for Download 2022.

You’d think that after six albums of basically the same song it would get boring, but it gets better if anything. Also, respect to any band who can keep up the self titled thing for six straight records.

7 years after their last album and Lantlos have one in yet another direction, some gorgeous poppy sounding stuff here.
